Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild members meet up regularly for sewing, learning and skill sharing.
Our Sit and Sew Days are just that. Come, join with your guild friends, sit and sew, share, show off your work and enjoy. Occasionally we even have a Super Sit and Sew Day – up to 12 hours of fun! All Sit and Sew Days are held at GJ’s Discount Fabrics (31 Steane St, Fairfield, Vic. 3078) unless otherwise indicated. Please note that the sewing room is up a flight of stairs.
Visitors are welcome to join Sit and Sew Days, except those listed as ‘Members only’, on two occasions before we ask that you join the guild.
Bookings are required for all events and usually open up on the 1st day of the month in which the event is held. A small fee is charged for Sit and Sew Days at the time of booking to cover costs for venue hire.
[Members who are interested in the guild’s philanthropy program can visit the Community Quilts Sew Days page for information on upcoming sew days and booking links.]
